Tremors
Wild Things
A few good men
Cop car
Beauty Shop

It's all couples, so I'm sure wild things will be a good time.

I'm waffling on Super cause I haven't seen it and i don't know how far things get with it. The actors are crowd favorites though.

I don't think Mel is the one he's questioning, and frankly, yeah, I sort of agree, Zahler was legitimately doing fine when he kept it at a dogwhistle level. I don't know what he has to gain out of just holding a neon sign over his head saying "I'M A loving NAZI" instead of making movies that pass as normal to non-Nazis.

And that’s good. People don’t want this except them. And that’s one of the reasons why the producers of that guys movies (rip bone tomahawk being a classic) are more leaning towards right wing stuff. They sell to them more as a market that isn’t being catered too.

Having not seen any of his stuff can anyone explain what's so special about bone tomahawk except "waaah Hollywood doesn't make westerns anymore and certainly not showing savage injuns as they are and also this dude getting sawn in half is loving siiiiiick and gnarly"

When Bone Tomahawk went on Prime I watched like 5 minutes of it, was extremely not feeling it, and bailed. That's felt like an exponentially better decision over time to the point where it feels like possibly the absolute best case scenario for bailing on something early.

It's a good movie. I still like it, while fully seeing how problematic it actually is. Hell, I really enjoyed Block 99, even when realizing that the main character was a (perhaps former) white supremacist. But my perspective has definitely changed, knowing who made it and where his politics lie. I don't feel comfortable watching it, even though I'd say it's a good movie.

I still love the soundtrack, so very much.

I honestly forgot Patrick Wilson was in it and aside from Kurt Russell I'm struggling to remember who else was in it. Aside from that one gross scene the movie didn't make much of an impression on me.

The best part of the movie was the troupe's travel through the landscape, shooting the poo poo. I'd watch sequels of nothing but the journies of Kurt Russel, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Fox, and That Old Guy From Cabin In The Woods.

I thought it was plenty memorable, even outside of the shock scenes. It was very effective in lulling you into a sense of security, even when you know they're getting closer to trouble. When things go south, it feels stressful. In seconds, their trek turns life-threatening and they're adapting to a bizarre new situation. It's good.

But then you get the scene where the Native American starts talking about how they don't stand a chance against their inbred off-shoot 'faction', and yeah, it makes you feel a bit dirty.

Do people really find Bone Tomahawk that compelling, did the awful cinematography and staging of the opening threat scene not just turn people off automatically, like, "Oh my god, this is straight amateur hour"?

That fuckin' garbage bigfoot movie Big Legend I saw a week ago had a more compelling opening than Bone Tomahawk, even if it's just as irritating to sit through.

e: oh gently caress, I was thinking "David Arquette arriving at the town in the middle of the night wasn't terribly bad, what's he talking about." Then I remembered that wasn't the opening. The first scene is that terrible scene with Sid Haig that's shot like the cold open of an X-Files episode haha
